RAJAPACK UK has changed its name to RAJA UK, aligning the Bedfordshire packaging distributor with the RAJA Group’s brand used elsewhere in Europe. The company said it supplies more than 43,000 UK businesses and has operated in the UK since 1998.

RAJA UK is part of the RAJA Group, which was founded in France in 1954 by Rachel Marcovici and Janine Rocher. The group’s name comes from the first names of its founders, and it now serves 19 European countries.

Managing director Tom Rodda said the people, product range and next-day service remain the same despite the name change. He added that the company has introduced a free planning tool ahead of its busiest period.

The Prepare for Peak tool is intended to help businesses estimate the cost of their packing operation during peak trading and identify potential savings before Black Friday on 27 November. Users select their industry to see typical order increases at peak, based on benchmarks that combine Office for National Statistics retail data with RAJA order data from 2023 to 2025.

They can then enter their own figures, including parcels handled per day and the number of people packing. RAJA UK said the result is an illustrative estimate rather than a quotation.
